The best team won the tournament for sure.
If only we had any sort of bomb squad….
Think we rattled the French but they blew us away in the 20 mins post le bomb squad. Cracking days ruggers really.Modifying post.Comment

Nobody has ever won three championships in a row…. it’s so hard to maintain that level over 3 years. I think we are in transition but still won 4 games and a triple crown. It also means the Lions won’t be “all Irish”
Finn Russell looks overweight every time I watch himComment

really?
He made 2 or three line breaks! He’s just not a conventional athlete - not sure you get away with being overweight at this level.
Thought he was good again tonight. Has to force it sometimes as we don’t get forward dominance and that can leave us exposed but overall he creates so much.
Kinghorn was immense tonight.
We just need to go into a tournament with zero injuries - Tuipolotu, Cummings, Christie, Bayliss all add to our bench.
And if England can go into the last game on the verge of a win… (they are better but…)
You lot need evolution but you do have the players to do so succesfully.Modifying post.Comment

It’s his body shape I guess and he gets around the pitch but when I compare him to others he looks heavier, what can I say. I do expect him to start at 10 for the Lions on merit.Originally posted by Buzzo View Post really?

We are lacking “young” depth in some key positions - wing, centre, scrum half, prop. We had a few injuries and we couldn’t cope, I also wonder if Farrell not being there had much of an impact.
The best side won and now England seem to be on the rise again, this tournament is so tough and competitive. We’ve been blessed with our recent success so let’s see how we maintain that if possibleComment

Capuozzo scored a worldy try in that game but got his leg mangled on the tackle as he went over the line and left the pitch on a stretcher.

Toulouse are formidable but maybe a bit less so without DuPont.
Leinster have to fancy their chances with a home draw. Smashing Quins to nil is some statement.Modifying post.Comment

That Leinster squad is a joke.
Glasgow have about 7 players out tonight, this could be a chastening night.Modifying post.Comment
